The scenario could be modeled as a linear equation to produce the mathematical model written as : y = 10x + 7
Number of cards from previous card = 7
Number of cards per cardstock purchased = 10
Let :
Number of cardstocks purchased = x
Total Number cards made = y
The total number of cards made, y can be expressed thus :
(Number of cards per cardstock purchased × number of cardstocks purchased) + number of previous cards
This means :
y = 10x + 7
Therefore, the required equation is y = 10x + 7
